Are not equivalent wrt. speed. MMIO accessors should be rather

Yes, I know. I did it this way because I something broke under stress
when ugeth->confBd[txQ] instead. The ucc_geth_tx() and 
ucc_geth_start_xmit()
gets out of sync somehow.
Would be great if you could investigate it more. Maybe there is
a serious bug somewhere, or maybe you're introducing another
(yet hidden) bug...
